UNSPSC 85481504: Division of tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 018G4ZZ

UNSPSC 85481504 Division of tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities tagged under it address medical staffing, pharmacy benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, medical record review, and specialty care networks—none of which involve tibial nerve division or percutaneous endoscopic surgery. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying procurement notice data or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy as applied and the actual scope of work being solicited.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). These issuing bodies and work streams are drawn from pension administration, municipal employee benefits, state transportation operations, juvenile justice, county healthcare purchasing, and health system temporary staffing—none of which resolve to a procedural surgical code. For a business development professional evaluating this code, the signal is clear: do not pursue UNSPSC 85481504 based on recent state and local procurement activity. The tagging appears erroneous, and no meaningful pipeline of opportunities exists under this commodity classification.
